London MCM Comic Con (May 2013) Report

Here I am, reporting what we did at the MCM London Comic Con. This was the busiest MCM Comic Con yet since there were 67,000 attendees. The game we showed this time was Dynasty Warriors 8. Thanks to the #TKfamily community for visiting us and even helping us out at the booth – Steven, Kin, Joe, Jamie, Simone, Ray, Tom and Davide – much appreciated!

I attended to the show on Saturday (Sunday – just for the pack down) and we had an interactive wall at the booth taking pictures of our community so everyone could be a part of our family.

We also organized a competition of the highest K.O count in 8 minutes with Dynasty Warriors 8 demo and here are the results! The winners will receive a copy of Dynasty Warriors 8 game when it comes out.

The demo we used this time has 8 playable characters. 4 new ones and 4 familiar faces (Shu – Zhao Yun & Guan Yinping; Wei – Xiahou Dun & Yue Jin; Wu – Sun Shangxiang & Lu Su; Jin – Sima Shi & Zhang Chunhua) and the stage we showed was Yellow Turban Rebellion. Many were complaining about the stage demo being the Yellow Turban Rebellion. However, there are more stages which will be shown at the E3 2013 show next month so we saved some exclusives for that. Remember, this is the first time we showed the English demo so we’re thankful enough to Japan for letting us to do this.

Unlike what people usually do after the expo (to get drunk) as we didn’t need alcohol to have a good time, I actually went to have a very nice Brazillian dinner with my UK family (also the people who helped me out at the booth). It was filled with love and thanks again to Mary, Simone and Mari who baked such a nice cake for us! I was very happy and still am very very happy.

So thank you all again and again for making me very very happy. I had a good time and I hope you all had too!

Haha we packed down and finished at 6:40pm then went to the bar for 20mins then headed to the restaurant. We went home at 9:30pm-ish. Kev, it’s different because we only have 2 people and we need to wake up to open our booth on Sunday unlike other people in the industry outsource the booth, we did it in very small number of inhouse people.
